Question

I attempted to generate a migration like:

rails generate migration RemovefromGenotypes box:integer well:string

but then I get this error:

/usr/share/rails-ruby1.8/railties/lib/rails_generator/options.rb:32:in `default_options': undefined method `write_inheritable_attribute' for Rails::Generator::Base:Class (NoMethodError)
    from /usr/share/rails-ruby1.8/railties/lib/rails_generator/base.rb:90:in `<class:Base>'

I have no clue where to start to debug this, but would certainly appreciate it if anyone could point me in the right direction…

Thanks!
